Andre Simon of High Performance Academy joins us for our first remote podcast to discuss the nuances of chasing records, the creation of High Performance Academy and where the passion for education comes from.

Legendary tuner Shane Tecklenburg returns to talk about turning LMP3 race cars into hill climb monsters, calibrating V12 air race planes, the realities of compound turbo setups, and much more.Use “SHANET100” to get $100 off HPA's Tuning Starter Package: https://hpcdmy.co/tuningpackagebShane Tecklenburg, or “Shane T” as he's more commonly known, is one of the biggest names in the tuning industry, and for good reason. This long-time friend of High Performance Academy has been in the EFI tuning game for many years now, and has a reputation as the ultimate problem solver who can rectify all manner of difficult tuning issues that others have given up on.After appearing in episode #1 back in 2021, Shane now returns for episode #120, allowing us to catch up on his latest projects, starting with an in-depth look at what it takes to transform an LMP3 circuit racer into a hill climb weapon with a sub-10 minute Pikes Peak ascent in its sights. This leads us into a fascinating conversation around anti-lag, IMAP vs EMAP, and retaining as much power as possible as a car gains altitude. Next, we get an interesting insight into the world of air racing, as Shane details his tuning adventures with V12-powered Thunder Mustang race planes and the unique challenges that come with calibrating these unique machines and their dual ECUs.  Back in 2021, we talked to Shane about one of the most interesting projects he's been involved with — the Mazworx SR20VE-powered triple-compound turbo drag car. This machine is fairly well-known online thanks to its incredible aesthetics and unique turbo setup, so the update on this project from Shane is a very welcome one as the team strives for that magical 3000hp goal.  The conversation then falls down the very deep compound turbo rabbit hole as Shane gets into the finer details of this forced induction arrangement.As mentioned, you can listen to episode 60 featuring JT Oliver of JTO Power here.Follow Shane here:IG: @tunedbyshanetFB: Tuned By Shane TYT: TunedbyShaneTWWW: motorsportcontrol.comDon't forget, you can use “SHANET100” to get $100 off HPA's Tuning Starter Package: https://hpcdmy.co/tuningpackageb

How do you know if it is safe to turn your 1300HP R35 GT-R Skyline engine tune right up to 11 and hit the track?Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inWhat checks do you need to do before you know it is safe to turn up the boost or even just use what you know is safe on a different type of fuel? What sort of process do professional tuners follow when troubleshooting issues during a race weekend? This interview dives into these topics and much more!Mike McGinnis of Innovate Tuning is also a High Performance Academy tutor and all-round engine and transmission tuning expert. He knows his stuff and, luckily for all of us, is happy to share that knowledge at events like the World Time Attack Challenge.The LYFE Motorsport R35 GT-R Skyline is no stranger to time attack or even this channel having been featured before here and also Pikes Peak. It has seen numerous changes over the years. At WTAC it ran a stroked 4.1L VR38DETT with twin Garrett GTX3076 turbos, Shepherd Transmission DCT with PPG gearset Dodson Motorsport Promax clutch and a MoTeC electronics package.This GT-R pushes 1300hp on a Dynojet in the United States and 1120hp on a Mainline in Australia, which helps show that not all dyno numbers are 'equal' to the point they generally don't matter in the way most of us think, beyond being data for the tuner behind the laptop.Owner Cole Powelson had his best WTAC event in the car, hitting a 1:25.9450, which put him third in the EMtron Pro Class and the fastest US driver to take a stab at the event over the years.The car did double duty, with Donut Media YouTuber Jeremiah Burton also hitting a solid 1:31.4800, which is more than solid for someone new to the car, track and speeds involved.

What does a balance beam have to do with scaling a business? More than you'd think. There's a reason gymnasts don't start on the high beam. In this podcast episode, Kimberly Spencer draws parallels between mastering skills on the low beam before aiming higher and how this applies to entrepreneurship. Whether it's honing focus or perfecting delegation, start small, build confidence, and when the time comes, you'll be ready for the big leagues. In this episode of the Crown Yourself podcast, host Kimberly Spencer shares a poignant moment she witnessed between a father and his daughter at a gymnastics class. The father's advice on overcoming fear and learning from falls resonated with Kimberly, prompting her to draw parallels to entrepreneurship. She reflects on her own business struggles, the emotional challenges of grief and motherhood, and the importance of resilience and self-care. Kimberly discusses strategic decision-making, the value of data in business and health, and the mindset shift from playing not to lose to playing to win. The episode is a blend of personal insights and professional strategies, ending with an empowering call to embrace one's journey and reign in life. #Entrepreneurship #GrowthMindset #PersonalGrowth What you will learn from this episode: Embracing the process of falling and getting back up Overcoming fear and embracing the coaching process Importance of trust and commitment in personal growth and entrepreneurship Practicing and building trust within oneself The metaphor of the balance beam and aiming for higher goals Embracing failure as a catalyst for progress and improvement Decision-making process and risks in entrepreneurship Reconnecting with purpose and prioritizing self-care Making strategic decisions and tracking key performance indicators Embracing resilience and commitment to playing to win Enjoy, sovereigns!

Episode:#45 Shaun Boyce and Bobby SchindlerIn this episode we talk to Marcelo Ferreira who runs the High Performance Academy at the Windy Hill Athletic Club in Atlanta. Marcelo comes to us as a former college coach and he brings that culture to his junior academy keeping an extremely high standard and expecting strong character from his players beyond exceptional tennis work ethic.

From fighter jets to JDM icons. In this episode of Tuned In, we speak to Josh Ray of Driver Motorsports, who left a 20-year-long career in the US Navy as a fighter jet technician to follow his passion, pouring all that military experience, attention to detail, and knowledge into a new career building and tuning the ultimate Japanese legends for a living.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inJosh Ray always wanted to build and tune cars, but after leaving school at 17, he couldn't afford to pay for the education or equipment to make that dream a reality. Do you know who'd gladly pay for it though? The US military. Josh joined the Navy and worked his way up to Senior Chief, responsible for the maintenance and repair of fighter jets like the F14 Tomcat and FA18 Super Hornet. Along the way, he was given huge amounts of training and experience — far more than you could ever hope to get in the civilian world — that would put him in perfect sted for when the time came to leave the Navy and work with high-powered JDM icons.In this episode, Josh discusses how he transitioned away from the military and joined Driver Motorsports, where he builds everything from engines to full car projects, as well as manning the laptop in the dyno bay *spoiler alert* our own High Performance Academy courses had a part in filling any knowledge gaps he had.Josh has always loved 90s Japanese cars, so the conversation naturally turns towards stalwarts of the era — specifically Nissan's Z32 300ZX and R32 GT-R — in an attempt to separate hype from reality. Josh owns both, so he's more than qualified to weigh in on the subject. With some great conversations around buying cars at Japanese auctions and then importing them into the States, the ins and outs of road tuning, and minimising dyno result inconsistencies, this conversation with Josh Ray is well worth a listen.

Over the last decade, Tony has narrowed his focus on the venerable Nissan R35 platform, and now runs some of the fastest GTRs in the world.  In this episode, Tony talks to Andre about getting his start in the tuning world and his initial dealings with "fast" Hondas during a time when going quicker largely meant a process of trial and error. These days, things are a lot more precise, and the pair discuss the many advances that the industry has seen over the last decade that have allowed tuners like Tony to push the boundaries of just what's possible.Learn more about Performance Engine Building by coming along to the next FREE lesson: hpcdmy.co/enginebuildingfWhen it comes to R35s, Tony really knows his stuff — something that's immediately obvious as this episode progresses.

Travis is a breakthrough coach, I'm really looking forward to hearing. I'm hearing some of the story that Troy has about became a breakthrough coach because it is passionately I've seen it on the website Travia Welcome to It's not rocket science, five questions over coffee. I hope you're there with your drink ready a hand.Travia Steward  00:48I am Stuart, thank you so much for having me. I got a nice Four Sigmatic cup of coffee. And so yeah, I'm ready to go.Stuart Webb  00:57I wish I wish I could drink. It's afternoon for me, I wish I could drink coffee in the afternoon. I will be up all night. But that's not about me. It's a tribute. Tell us something about the sort of people that you work with? What are the problems that they that they are suffering with that, that you're trying to helpTravia Steward  01:14them with? Right? So I primarily work with both men and women, probably more women than men. But you know, people have been asking me, you know, my business coach is like, are you going to niche down and get more specific, but the clients that I have that come to me that I'm able to make a difference in their life, they are stuck. They are reactive to everyone around them. You know, I call it giving other people control of your thermostat. Like we were talking before the call like the, you know, our temperature thermostat in the house. It's like we give people permission to piss us off all the time. So I you know, help them control their own thermostat. But what happens is the people that I work with, they just one day have looked in the mirror and said, You know what? This is? I think there's just more. And so I help them peel back the layers of well, what does that more look like? What area of life is that more that you want? And I help them go after and achieve that. And that's what I do. And so like one woman described it, as, you know, trading, I'm sort of in a holding pattern, I help them get out of that holding pattern and take take action on their life.Stuart Webb  02:25Okay, I think you know, if that's the, if the niche is people who are stuck, that's the niche. That's right. So so so tell me, what are the things that some of those people have done before they seek help that haven't maybe worked for them? Or, you know, what, what are the, you know, people listening at the moment saying, I think I recognise it, what are they likely to have found themselves trying to do?Travia Steward  02:47Right? You know, and it's a lot of the same things that I found myself doing when I had the proverbial moment of looking in the mirror. I read books, I went on Amazon, I started doing conference after conference, you know, I did a lot of self help. But what I found was, those were band aids. And those were things that fix it temporarily, but did not get to the core of, well, why are you there to begin with? And so what I find is everybody tries to fix it and go, okay, and then we try to fix all the things at once, you know, I'm just going to fix my life. But you know, instead of going, well, maybe let's look at our health. Okay, maybe it's the relationship, maybe it's me. And so that's what I find that they're just trying to, you know, encompass every single thing at one time. And it's just, it's self help. I got this, I can do this. But we can't see our own blind spots. You need someone to see what you can't see.Stuart Webb  03:38Yeah, that's the old Johari Window, if I remember rightly, isn't it's, it's you there are there are certain things which you just do, which you just cannot find for yourself, somebody has to be looking in you and sort of pointing out, you know, do you realise in a certain situation, this is the behaviour you exhibit? You know, because you obviously, you're behaving in a particular way.Travia Steward  04:01Right, exactly. That's a good way to put it.Stuart Webb  04:04I love Yeah, it's, it's, it's something that was said to me a long time ago now. And somebody sort of did point something out. And I went, No, that's not right. You've got to be okay. And then I eventually realised you might have a point. And you sometimes you need somebody who just is got that sort of view, and your best interests at heart to just say, I think you ought to be aware of something.Travia Steward  04:24Absolutely. Yeah. Because I mean, we can't there's so many things we can't see. Because so many times I'm like, Oh, I didn't do that. Oh, here, you know what, here's my phone, look at the video. You Oh my god, I did do that. You know, for some reason, we have selective memory sometimes, right? Sometimes we just don't know.Stuart Webb  04:44So I think you've got a great free resource that can help us with some of the triggers. So so I'm gonna just put something on the screen now which I which I was gonna come up. Yes. Yeah. So this is a great resource that I think can help people who are in that position at the moment and would really love to sort of get get to somewhere different, tell us about this valuable free action.Travia Steward  05:05So this is my breakthrough to greatness guy. And what I have found in my work is that in the very beginning it as it takes you through a quiz of this, you know, your with your mindset, is it fixed? Is it growth, because, first of all, if we don't know, if we're stuck, like, I remember, when my mom was still alive, my mom, my mom was a diabetic. And she would call me she lived in New Orleans, and she would say, you know, and she'd be she, Hey, man, how you doing? And she'd be smacking in my ear? And I was like, What are you doing? You know, what are you eating, you're smacking, and she's like, Oh, I'm eating pecan pie. But you're diabetic. And she goes, I know, I'm just gonna take an insulin shot. I'm too old to change. Right? So that was an example of her having a fixed mindset. So if we don't know where we are to begin with, and we're so fixed and stuck in our ways, then the rest of the guys aren't even going to help us. Right? So then it's a it's a matter of looking at, what are the things that you really want to do, that you're fearful of? Where does that fear come from? And so he's just asked is just a very simple like three page guide. That's the beginning the foundation of, you know, let's start thinking about where I am. And what is it that stopping me, and this is an example of this is some quick action that you could take that goes, Okay, I want to get out there and write that book. But I'm afraid of what I'm afraid because my friends are going to say this, I'm afraid it's going to expose me to whatever that is. But it helps you to get down to the fear of what is that thing that's stopping you? And then a little bit of affirmation, work a little mindset work as to, okay, if I'm gonna step out and do that thing. What am I going to do? How am I going to take the action and able to do that? So it's just a quick thing. You know, I know people don't like long, you know, ebooks or anything like that. So it's just, it's a quick, it's a breakthrough guide that could start them on their journey.Stuart Webb  07:02Like the idea of a breakthrough guide. That's a really good one. That's a good one, as there been a particular book or course programme in your life that has affected you and taking you on this journey that you you'd like to share with us.Travia Steward  07:15You know, this is, this is the guy that did it, right. I picked up his high performance habits, Brendon Burchard. And everything about what Brendan stood for. I immediately loved like, this was a time in my life when I was still teaching high school theatre. And I, you know, looked in the mirror and said, There's got to be more than this, because I kind of, you know, run that full race. And it was time to switch chapters. And I picked up his book. And then you know, what you do is you go Google, oh, there's a conference coming to Phoenix. Oh, my goodness, wonderful. So I went to his conference. And I just started eating everything, just eating drinking Brendon Burchard. And he was the one that really lit that fire under me, initially. And it was his book, high performance habits, that really opened the door and said, Hey, welcome to my world. So yeah, it's him. And it's that book.Stuart Webb  08:15Everybody needs to file it somehow. Everybody needs.Travia Steward  08:20So good, so good. Yes. And he liked and he likes it, you know, and I've always said that when I come full circle, you know, and I'm throwing it out to the universe. Here we go. That I, you know, my first taste of being extraordinary. And being in the company of extraordinary people was at his High Performance Academy. And so to come full circle and a full evolution, declaring that I will speak on Brendon Burchard stage, and so that is the fire and then that's when I feel like oh my goodness, it's the full evolution, right of this journey for me.Stuart Webb  08:55When's that gonna happen? When's that gonna happen?Travia Steward  08:59You know, I would love for it to happen in the next three years. Terrific. Well, that's notStuart Webb  09:04something to pin. Yes, people. Three years time, we'll all be going and we'll be in that comfortable listening to track you're taking us through the journey that she's been on. And maybe she'll only do it for the first part, and she'll leave the three years from now until then it's all a second speech.Travia Steward  09:22Oh, I love it. I love it.Stuart Webb  09:25So there's there must be a question. You're suddenly thinking trivia that you're thinking, Well, why isn't he asked me about this? Because that's the real real question that really helps to focus them on what is the question that you'd like us to have discussed? And please, when, when you've asked it, answer it for us as well.Travia Steward  09:41Absolutely. So as I was talking about what the breakthrough guide, you know, the question would be someone's listening right now. And they're like, Okay, yeah, I've done the whole thing in the mirror. But where do I start? How do I begin to take action? That breakthrough guide will help but also The question is, where do I start? You take a life audit, if we had to go through the major areas of our life, like I would want someone to go, Okay, if I considered my life a 10, a 10, out of 10 being the best it could ever be, which area am I going to start with? And so it would be okay with my relationship with my marriage? Is it a 10? out of 10? Well, you know, it's a four because we're not communicating. Right. So what about my health? Do I feel good? Do I have the physique that I want? Well, you know what, that's an eight. Yeah, absolutely. What about my job? Do I love my job? Absolutely. That's a seven. So then if you're taking a life audit and go, Okay, if my lowest number, my lowest score is a four out of 10, that's where I should start. I should start where there's a bigger gap, there's a bigger deficit, so that we're not trying to run the whole gamut and trying to solve and fix everything one time, because most people are like, if I just fix him, I'm going to be I'm going to fix everything in my life. What's not true a lot of times it's not. So it's starting and choosing in one specific area. Let's start there. And then sometimes it's picking that area that goes, You know what, this one thing if I fix this with me, that can be a domino effect that could improve communication, improve my health, give me more discipline, give me more motivation, all the things. So I would say, where do I start? You start with a life audit auditing, where in your life you want to fix.Stuart Webb  11:29That is a really good piece of advice, JB I like that I like Ford, it is a well, it's a it's a frightening prospect as well, because that will expose them all of those things that you're thinking that something was gonna be fixed. And then challenge yourself to get the help you need in order to make those make those big breakthroughs, breakthrough to those those massive actions that you need in order to take to perform and performTravia Steward  11:56better. Absolutely, absolutely.Stuart Webb  11:59COVID. This has been a really interesting discussion. Thank you so much for spending a few few minutes with us. Absolutely.

Is modifying a rare and desirable vehicle a really stupid idea? What's the secret to building a great street car? What makes a good engine swap? Can you actually make a career as an automotive 'YouTuber'? On this week's episode of the High Performance Academy 'Tuned In' podcast, Andre is joined by Dave Pratte and Peter Tarach from Speed Academy to help answer all these questions and many more. Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inDave and Peter have been in the automotive game for many years, starting off in with a long run in the print media world working at car magazines before eventually transitioning into the online space — specifically YouTube. Through their channel Speed Academy, they've successfully built a career online, and now spend their time taking on interesting builds for the world to see. All those hours spent either in front or behind a camera, pedalling fast cars, or swinging off the end of a half-inch driver, has given the guys a really interesting perspective on what it is we do as enthusiasts. Learn more about Performance Engine Building by coming along to the next FREE lesson: hpcdmy.co/enginebuildingfAndre first digs into what it actually takes to make money as an automotive 'YouTuber', before discussing the potential monetary pitfalls of modifying something like Speed Academy's R34 GT-R and JZA80 Supra projects — vehicles that are quickly becoming more of an investment opportunity than driveable cars.   Peter and Dave then dive into the world of engine swaps — when it's a good idea, when it's a bad idea, how to do it well, and the mistakes that so many people make on their first time around. While still on the subject of swaps, Peter makes the case for DCT (dual clutch transmission) swaps being the new manual gearbox swaps, now that the industry is catching up and providing aftermarket support for CANbus integration. With discussions on what makes a great street car (hint — horsepower chasers aren't going to love the answer) and much more, this is an entertaining conversation with two experienced veterans of the modified import scene. These guys have seen it all, from the pre-Fast and Furious days, all the way through the growing pains of the last two decades to the current YouTube-dominated scene we find ourselves in today — for better or for worse.Check out Speed Academy's YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and website.

Have you ever caught yourself daydreaming about making your own bespoke engine — something completely new, that makes big power, and sounds like heaven. No? Maybe that's just us then. Either way, we were excited to sit down with this week's guest, as he's one of the few people out there that has taken the leap and turned his daydreams into reality.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-in Craig Williams is the brains behind the much-hyped Neutron Engines, and on this episode of High Performance Academy's 'Tuned In' podcast, the mechanical engineer sits down with Andre to dive into his fascinating world. Craig takes us through all the whats, whys, hows, and whens of his bespoke engine design, which is essentially two Honda K24s mated together to create a 750hp, 10,000rpm, flat-plane crank, 4.8 litre V8 in naturally aspirated form — with upwards of 1500hp possible when adding forced induction into the mix. Learn more about Performance Engine Building by coming along to the next FREE lesson: hpcdmy.co/enginebuildingf Craig also discusses how someone actually kicks off a major project like this,  starting with a blank piece of paper, through to designing in Fusion 360, to actually creating and prototyping every single part. There's plenty of technical nuggets to uncover here, so this episode is going to be perfect for any listeners with an interest in the internal workings of an engine, as well as how an engine is designed and the challenges that need to be overcome before being put into production.

In this fascinating episode of High Performance Academy's Tuned In podcast, we head off on a real tangent as America's Cup electrical engineer Peter Knight — a member of this year's winning Emirates Team New Zealand syndicate — drops by the studio to give us some insight into the high-stakes world of top-tier boat racing.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-in While motorsport is more our speed, we were blown away by Peter's insight into this big-money racing arena. We take a look at the parallels between the two worlds when it comes to the wiring, data logging, and aerodynamics, as well as the big differences. How do you accurately measure velocity, for example, when the "track" you're racing on is moving and has a speed and direction of its own?Peter also gives us a really interesting look into how these jaw-dropping hydrofoils actually work, and how the incredible speeds — up to three times the actual windspeed and magnitudes faster than the previous generation of Americas Cup's boats -—are achieved. Want to learn more about motorsport wiring? Claim your spot to the next FREE lesson: hpcdmy.co/wiringlessonfTo wrap up, Peter talks about how data can be used to improve the tactics and strategies when racing, as well as his own climb up through the ranks in the sailing world, dealing with sensitive electronics in some extremely challenging environments, and finally rebuilding and rewiring an entire boat overnight after a catastrophic near-sinking. All this and much more can be found inside this unique episode of High Performance Academy Tuned In podcast.

Plenty of people in the industry think that blowing up engines and destroying parts is an essential and unavoidable aspect of the learning process when it comes to tuning, but is that really the case?

In this episode, I talk about how to create more CONFIDENCE. What is confidence?  Confidence is the belief and feeling that things will turn out well. Confidence is knowing I can cope, act as I intend, and succeed in a given situation.  I will reliably show up as my best self and do a good job. It is important to understand the framework for confidence so you can develop it.   Having confidence will enable us to live a fully charged, energetic, engaged life and to succeed.  I break down Confidence and describe the Confidence Model from the High Performance Academy and provide ideas to develop it.     If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?
